The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is offering this grant to support efforts by states and local governments in identifying missing persons. This grant is for performing DNA analysis on unidentified human remains and reference samples. A primary purpose is to enter resulting DNA profiles into the FBI’s National DNA Index System using CODIS version 7.0. Additionally, relevant case information concerning unidentified remains must be entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), unless a justification for not doing so is provided. This initiative aims to leverage advanced DNA technology to resolve long-standing missing person cases and aid identification efforts nationwide.
